We loved this campground and definitely will be returning! We were there the first weekend of Oktoberfest, and the weather was perfect. Not all of the campsites had people at it, which was a pleasant surprise being that it’s Helen’s busiest weekend of the year. I don’t recall any camper trailers, just tents, which I enjoyed, as trailers tend to bring with them extra noise and harsh lights. It was along low gap creek, which was really nice to listen to at night. The sites were a bit spaced out from each other (~50 ft from each other) but we were still near others, so keep in mind you are not secluded. The bathrooms are toilet only, no flushing, and we couldn’t figure out how to use the water, though others seemed to figure it out. Dog friendly. You do have a fairly large area to put up a tent, rather than a tiny space like some other campgrounds. *With Google Maps, the location was really hard to find. We drove an extra 40 minutes through the forest because maps told us to turn right at the “Low Gap Campground” sign, but you are supposed to turn LEFT.
Low Gap Creek Campground. Reservation ONLY. 15 camp site locations. There is no power or water to the sites. Ideal for small campers, pop-ups, and tents. Check the websites for additional information.
I stayed at camp ground 5 across from the creek. This is one of my favorite places now. So quit and peaceful. I will say people will show up very late in the night stay up late then sleep a lot of the day believe it was some homeless people because they would leave most of the day then come back. They didn’t bother anyone tho. The areas to fish are great we got some trout. The restrooms you will need a light cause at night there isn’t any at all.
My family and I were just there September 5th -14th. We are from Ga and now live in Florida, we come every year for our annual family camping trip. Usually you have to pay at the camp ground by putting your money in the box. They've now changed that in the past year and it's reservation only. Which my husband and I love. Now we don't have to try and beat someone to the camp site we want😊 This place is so beautiful and peaceful, it's our true happy place for sure. They have done alot of work to make the camp ground better. The bathhouse are always so nasty when we visit. This time they came 2 times to clean them while we were there. Very happy 😊 See ya next year!
This a quite and restful campground off the beaten path with many camping spots next to Low Gap Creek. Note, they have removed bear boxes, trash cans and there is no longer a camp host. So, pack it in and pack it out is the moto here, please plan accordingly! Also, the chemical toilets were locked on our last visit in September 2017, I am unsure if this is permanent or was temporary as we visited shortly after Hurricane Irma passed through.
